Funny how it goes..

What I meant about how Hebrew vs Arabic sounds, was more how the
language Arabic has done the classic, make thing easier,
smoother, like they was naturally done. While Hebrew still has
some of the stiffness of not being made "lazy". Sort of like how
Grimms law or something like describes things, how something
hard for the mouth to say, will over time make it less hard..
The glottal sounds will soften, cause they take to much effort
to say? sort of thing.

Alternate, like BOHICA, comes from "bend over here is comes
again" we had great fun with our commander with that one..
BOHICA SIR, and then he found out what it meant, it was cool..

Hum, I can see about the Hebrew and how it borrows non-Hebrew
worlds, Arabic has similar structures.. Like how Islam and
Muslim are basically the same word but how used, position and
such defines things, all are SLM but you add M and change the
vowels around.

No, not a speaker of Arabic, just got it for a base line on
Semite languages.
